I had the delight of doing a software integration / butchery contract there in Engineering. It was bloody awful. Being an external 'consultant', 20% Time in particular was the bane of my existence, they'd all just bugger off and play with something else. Mind you, Google Similar Images is going to be bringing an awful lot of porn highly sensible images for one handed surfers researchers everywhere smile

A real opportunity is coming up.... might have to put your thinking caps on though! (and there's no promise that there's a job at the end of it anyway, unlike previously).
